A rubberstamp will be always dirty, Mr. Manmohan Singh….

Like many Indians, I had the (mis)fortune of watching our dummy PM. His conference can be summed up nicely as follows:

• I am helpless
• Not every issue comes to me for approval, even in ministries I am directly in charge of
• There is coalition Dharma
• I trusted corrupt ministers to do the right thing
• I am not as bad as you think..

That is it, this short list above almost completely summarizes his “press conference”. When even his usual ally Arnab Goswami, got fed up; upped his tone and tenor only to be reminded by the NDTV brigade and PM’s media advisor as to how a “decorum” has to be maintained when you are “questioning” the PM. Folks, I can no longer laugh or cry at this poor PM. The only honorable thing for him to do will be admit to the super powers in his party that made him observe “studied silence” while the nation was being looted, then resign. This is the only redemption for him.

The journalists were somehow silent in their follow-up to the wishy-washy answers that were given. E.g. how can Dharma of any kind, shield Adharma? The constitution distinguishes the PM and gives that person the absolute pleasure of keeping or dropping anybody as minister. Why didn’t he do that? Even when you got alerts why did you decide to “trust” specific ministries and ministers? There were not at all probed in detail. It appeared that most of the media was happy that they had the “exposure” to be seen with the PM and left it at that.

To add insult to injury, now the NDTV brigade is singing praises as to how the PM is candid. When one says I am not as big a thief as you think -- there is implicit admission that I am a thief to some degree! Somehow our media slaves are not getting it.

Please Mr. Manmohan Singh, for the sake of this nation “speak up and resign”. If you choose to be a rubberstamp, then you can’t but be dirty….
